The group makes their way to the north side of town, a much more flat and normal layout of the city. There are taverns and local shops of all varieties, including a haberdashery.
Knocking and walking in to the open business. The eyes are almost attacked with all the bright colors and different styles of traditional and eccentric hats. A human walks up with a pencil thin mustache and well groomed goatee. His pressed white shirt and vest tucked neatly into his brown trousers. A gold pocket watch chain hang from his breast pocket. “Good evening, gentlemen. Might I assist in all your Hattery needs?

Aether taps his chest with his cane "Magia Kiraso"Then calls out "Captain, I take it these are not friends. Would you like some help in defending your vessel?"
As I am guessing it's going to be needed. Initiative : 10
In a loud, rather pompous voice, Matteo responds: Greetings, citizen. I am Sir Matteo, servant of Torm, here to investigate possible evil and anarchic activities by unnamed cultists. We seek witnesses to these foul actions, namely one Greco and his honoured mother.
Aether - the captain standing at the wheel trying to keep the shop steady as he barks orders at his men. “Wait until they swoop! Strike in their hearts, roll up the sails we make our stand here!” He looks to you, if you can fight, give it to them, if not get under deck.” He goes back to commanding his ship.
The swarm of Wyverns swoop down together at the ship, one ballista strikes true I. The chest of the one on the right as it careens to the left splashing down in the water rocking the waves around. The other two dodge the giant bolts as one wyvern takes a sailor as you hear him scream in terror being flown away. The other wyvern crashes through one of the sails before it’s able to get rolled up. In the distance it looks as though they will make a mother pass at the ship. What would you like to do? (It’s only you, so No initiative needed)
Group - the man sighs “never going to get any business with mother spreading these stories. Sirs, I appreciate the concern, but my mother is just a troubled individual who has terrible nightmares. She confuses what’s in her head and what is reality. I assure you will only find the nicest wares here, no cultists.”

Sir,responds Matteo. Nothing good comes from turning a blind eye to the warning signs of evil. Wickedness lurks in the darkness, waiting to strike at any opportunity. Will you be its accomplice? By Torm's will, I must ask to speak directly with your mother, that I may track down the perpetrators of this madness and bring Torm's holy fist down upon them.
The man rubs his face into his hands as he drags his palms down his face, the pinks of his eyes are exposed briefly in stress. “If you insist”. He walks into the back of the store, separated by a brown curtain with gold trim. He yells “MA! SOME MEN WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT TOUR NIGHTMARES!” A few moments later a plump elderly woman with permed grey hair and a bonnet that matches her floral pink dress hobbled down the stairs. It’s hard to know if it’s the stairs or her old joints that are creaking. “Oh, finally my prayers have been answered by such strong men... and woman I see. You’re here to get rid of these horrible things? Would you like any tea or biscuits?” She begins snapping her crooked arthritic fingers at her son.
Drax would nod and smile at the woman. "Yes please.." He would reply in a warm voice.... Please.. my master has lead us here to assist you... and the entire town" He would say raising his arms and gesturing to the area around them. "We would like nothing more than to help you with your problem and put the town at ease.." he would say with a smile before stepping back behind Matteo as though deferring to his authority.
Matteo gives a condescending nod of approval to his servant Drax, and looks back towards the woman. Madam,and he bows formally and introduces himself. What can you tell me of the evil that you have seen, that we may bring Torm's justice to the miscreants?
Greco heads to the back to make some tea. After a short while you hear him shout out, “ we don’t really have the platters to serve guests here. Would one of you come help me carry the cups out, please?” From behind three loose curtain.
The frail woman speaks “Well it all started a week or two ago. I thought it was strange, I would be up at night. Because you know my right hip has been bothering me so and I toss and turn. I saw hooligans dancing in the streets. Now I know that isn’t much to go on, any handful of drunks can be seen doing that. But then Nancy left her husband of 37 years the following night. Just left! Not a single word or reason. The Holden across the way started selling everything.... claiming to leave town immediately. Sold his clothes his home... everything. That man hasn’t so much changed his lunch from oatmeal with dried blueberries since the day I met him. Tell me there ain’t something fishy going on there. People are acting very strangely.” She finishes as she rubs her knuckles to warm up her hands. “Well there’s also the blue ghost too.”
Madness. And now undead too. This city will fall to evil and debauchery unless the good and true stand up and face it, Matteo laments. Tell me of the ghost, and where we might find and destroy it. And these hooligans; do they appear every night? I'm sure a concerned citizen such as yourself has kept a watch out for them, as much as you can. Where do they come from, and where do they go?
Stepping to the middle of the deck Aether holds his arms wide "Kaŭzi timon!"Presenting himself as a target the wizard holds the arcane energy of the spell waiting for the lizards to get closer
Taking the ready action to cast Cause Fear at 3rd level triggering action is if I get 3 wyverns in range or one gets with 10 feet of me, which ever comes first.

The elderly woman continues, her saggy and wrinkly skin has turn a little tighter with a grin as she has someone to finally listen. “Well the hooligans were only once. They appeared in the alley behind the house.... but I’ve been keeping an eye out, that’s how I found out the other stuff. Beats me where ghosts might go or come from. Isn’t that your specialty, Mr. ...?”
Risha walks behind the curtains to see a makeshift kitchen with a small burner oven still smoking hot. The tea kettle on a small table with Greco fumbling with glasses. “Oh thank you, you’re too kind.” as he hands you two cups.

Greco walks out with Risha in tow, with the tea. “Well hows the investigation going?”
The group makes their way to the north side of town, a much more flat and normal layout of the city. There are taverns and local shops of all varieties, including a haberdashery.
Matteo heads for the haberdashery and knocks loudly on the door.
Drax would stand next to Matteo Seemingly letting was looked to be a thick scarf around the monks neck...

Risha nods from the back of the group, pasting a polite smile onto her face and continuing to let Matteo do the talking.
